Halloween Fun Had at Sellersville Day Program
The Sellersville Adult Day Program hosted its 2nd Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest on Friday, October 30, 2009. All 12 program rooms created a pumpkin for submission into the contest. This year’s theme was “Down on the Farm”. The 3 winners were:
- 1st place — "Becky Sue" from Room 207
- 2nd place — "Owl" from Room 214
- 3rd place — "Tractor" from Room 203
All winners received a bucket full of napkins, plates, and Halloween cookies to share with their room. All those who voted on a pumpkin were put into a random drawing to win a beautiful potted flower.
The following day program staff won for their costumes:
- Dolores Krystopowicz and Jill Spade for their “Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum” costume
- Mindi Yost for her “witch” costume
- Angel Hertensteiner for her “pajama” costume
Various consumers also won certificates for their costumes in categories including:
- Most Original
- Best Impersonation
- Cutest
- Prettiest
- Best Duo
A special award was given to Greg Pettie and Holly Sanborn for their creativity and decorating of their day program room. They were also the creators of “Becky Sue” which took 1st place in the pumpkin contest. Their hard work is to be commended!
Thanks to all of the staff and consumers who participated in Friday’s activities. Happy Halloween!

Support LifePath by Purchasing Original Holiday Cards
Last month, LifePath Executive Director and CEO, Paul Coleman challenged LifePath staff and consumers to design artwork to be used as the cover for an original holiday greeting card. More than 20 submissions were received and after much deliberation, voters selected a fun snowman design by Nicole Plessl, a member of LifePath’s Sellersville adult day program staff. Nicole received a $100 gift card to her favorite store, Walmart as a thank you for permission to use her award-winning artwork.
The holiday cards are now available for pre-order. They measure 6.25” wide by 4.5” deep and feature the inside greeting "
Wishing you all the joys of this holiday season" in red lettering along with information about LifePath on the back. All proceeds from the sale of this card support LifePath’s programs and services for individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities. The cards come in packages of 8 with 8 white envelopes. These cards are perfect for friends, family, co-workers and customers. Bulk orders are being accepted.
The cost is $10 for a pack of 8 cards/envelopes. We will also be selling the cards at our 12th Annual Thanksgiving Benefit & Awards Luncheon November 25, 2009 and at LifePath’s administrative headquarters located at 3500 High Point Boulevard, Bethlehem as soon as they are available. Credit cards, cash and checks are accepted.
To pre-order your original LifePath holiday greeting cards, please contact Ann Marie Surovy at 484-893-5539, email amsurovy@lifepath.org, or download the order form (PDF) and send in your order and payment. We will update our website and Facebook page to let you know as soon as the cards are available for cash and carry or pick-up.
